Benefits of technology
[0020]Therefore, according to the present invention, a power supply device that can more reliably increase the temperature of power storage device while preventing decrease in energy efficiency can be provided.
Problems solved by technology
On the other hand, as the power storage unit stores electric energy utilizing electrochemical action, charge / discharge characteristics thereof are susceptible to a temperature.
Therefore, electric power stored in the battery is undesirably wasted.
The reference above, however, does not disclose any specific method to solve such a problem.

Abstract
A power supply device includes a power storage unit capable of being charged and a control unit controlling charging of the power storage unit. Control unit includes a battery ECU for setting, at the start of charging of the power storage unit, a target value of state of charge of the power storage unit to a first value based on the condition of power storage unit and setting, when a temperature increase instruction (change instruction) is received after the start of charging, the target value to a predetermined second value higher than the first value, and a converter ECU for executing the charging process so that the state of charge of the power storage unit attains to the target value.
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to a power supply device and a vehicle including the same. More specifically, the present invention relates to a power supply device including a power storage unit, as well as to a vehicle including the same.BACKGROUND ART[0002]Recently, considering environmental issues, attention has been paid to a vehicle employing a motor as a drive power source, such as an electric vehicle, a hybrid vehicle and a fuel cell vehicle. Such a vehicle includes a power storage unit implemented, for example, by a secondary battery or an electric double layer capacitor for supplying electric power to the motor, and converting kinetic energy to electric energy during regenerative braking and storing such electric power.[0003]In such a vehicle employing the motor as the drive force source, in order to enhance acceleration performance and running performance such as travel distance, greater charge / discharge capacity of the power storage unit is desired. He...
